Folk Tales Story Time – Preschool

Opening Song

Book: You’re Safe with Me by Chitra Soundar, illustrated by Poonam Mistry

Movement: “An Elephant Has”
An elephant has a great big trunk (swing arm)
That goes swinging to and fro.
And he has tiny, tiny eyes, (make binoculars with hands)
That show him where to go.
His great big ears go flopping, (put hands by ears to be elephant ears)
Flopping all around
While his great big feet go stomping, (stamp feet)
STOMPING on the ground!
